Egg Drop day

Yesterday was Egg Drop Day! Unfortunately my egg container was the only one that failed to protect the egg.





1. Container Mass: 104.7g


Dimensions: 14cm X 9cm X 5.5cm


Time of Fall: 0.91 Seconds


Distance of Fall:


Condition of Egg: Broken... :(


Earned Egg Points: a solid 0 points.


2. (currently no picture)


3. The restriction that affected me the most was probably in the inability to use a parachute. If we were allowed to use one it would've made all the difference in the world. It would have slowed the speed that the container was falling and greatly reduced the force of the impact, possibly, saving the egg.


4. The most effective part of its design was the styrofoam on the bottom half. It was shaped to the egg and protected it extremely well on all angles except for the top. The least effective part of the containers design was the cotton balls and pillow stuffing on the top half. The combination of stuff didn't provide enough cushion for the egg and when it fell it fell on this causing it to break.



5. To fit two eggs in the container it would have had to been made bigger obvisouly. Also the styrofoam would have to be fitted to contain a second egg.
